Snow Day!!

So of course we wake up this morning to snow!! I think it was predicted, but our local predictors don't exactly have a great track record - after all, it's Nashville!!  Anyhow, it snowed enough so those interested could get outside and play (even if it was for only a few minutes). Sure, there was ice underneath the snow (as Lynnette will attest to), but everyone managed to have fun without injury.

Clearly having one's picture made with one's own snowman is a happy occasion.
However, having a picture made before going out in the snow is not a happy occasion.

Family portrait time!

Fun on a sled!

Sam's snow workout ..
Of course, this latest weather left a small question as to whether Sam and I would get to Atlanta. However, by lunch, with the sun's help, the snow was melting as well as the stuff on the roads. We decided to go to Atlanta via the usual Chattanooga route (we had considered taking some extra time and go through Birmingham in case there were bad roads at Monteagle). But once we cleared the local area, the roads were fine and we were in Atlanta in time for IKEA and dinner. Even with no snow and ice, it was super-cold in Atlanta. The wind was freezing and had I not needed that flibberdigibbet from IKEA, I probably would have stayed in my hotel room under the covers.

Tomorrow morning I'm supposed to head to Orlando. Where it's also supposed to be cold. But warm up by Sunday, just in time for the Princess Half Marathon. And then it's supposed to be cold again when I get back to Nashville. I love winter, don't you?!
